About Me

I am very grateful to take care of two Hermann tortoises (Testudo Hermanni Boettgeri) hatched in September 2015, and they have been with me since 21 August 2016. Sue ("Wizzasmum" on the forum) is the very experienced tortoise keeper/breeder and fab lady who incubated the eggs and reared them as tinnies for about a year before I got them.

During warm months they live 24/7 in a large outdoor secured enclosure with a German cold frame made of Alltop plexiglas (UV transmissible) + electrics, and when non-hibernating they have a large indoor enclosure. They hibernate in a larder fridge (refrigeration method).
